This is a letter of apology to you Ali, and Tareg bilaba,
3 guys with no last name Libyan, interviewed by Giulia Innocenzi, who believe they can in somehow persuade the Italians to act to end the carnage that is going on in your country by Gaddafi and his mercenaries are gone by Santoro, Annozero, transmission known efforts, certainly convinced that he would All to give you the word, despite the various limitations imposed by the RAI.
Although our coliseums our theaters and the Roman Empire exported them in all the lands washed by the Mediterranean, including your own, you thought had passed the time of circus entertainment, gladiators, and democratic media that could seriously accept instances of a people struggling to get rid of a dictatorship, as they did in recent weeks, some neighboring countries. We say that illusion, since I called and used in the preview clips of your demonstrations outside the Libyan embassy in Rome, maybe you could be invited as real partners, with equal dignity of others.
To be honest I had not having followed the TV program on Thursday, but this morning one of my Argentine friend, who comes from a country a bit more anchored to reality, maybe because of the recent experience of struggle against dictatorship, called me urging me to cover the bet this week, because she was outraged by the lack of consideration given Libyans to you guys, how what we were supposed to be a program dedicated to you instead had come to the marginalization of your speech. So, before writing I had a look on the Internet to see if anyone else had raised objections as to took place that evening and found several posts on different pages on Facebook which expressed disappointment that the children Libyans had not been given time to express themselves (on a program of 2 hours 5 minutes poor). It was said that it was a "bad" episode.
During the episode, several times, all three of us have criticized "Where is your humanity?, They all talk about oil and economics, but not of the blood flowing in the streets of Tripoli? "To arrive at an answer should be a speech that was very broad, covering not only the economic and institutional structures, but also what has happened to the media, even the" left ", and more deeply understand who is recognized as an expert, what kind of knowledge is accepted as legitimate. Should also recall the historical amnesia, so the fact that Libya was colonized by Italy, that there has been a valiant resistance of the Libyan people against the occupation is no longer part of the consciousness of the average. Perhaps for these reasons that uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East have taken the "West" by surprise, observers not only conservatives, but even the progressives who were part of the World Social Forum, in short, as the experts category had not put into account, dealing with each other. Perhaps a reflection on this should encourage others to Santoro and assign a different weight to his "Informers" magari invece di 5 minuti riservare almeno metà della trasmissione a questa generazione di giovani del Nord Africa che sono i protagonisti di queste sollevazioni. Invece ci è toccato sorbirci,come al solito, La Russa, Casini, Fini, Rampini e Lutwak, con il loro linguaggio denso di eurocentrismo, che non è stato adeguatamente contrastato da Santoro o da altri.
Forse vale la pena ricostruire un po’ la puntata per capire meglio le dinamiche. Per chi non è abituato a seguire Annozero, la suddivisione dei luoghi deputati è abbastanza chiara; in uno studio televisivo circolare, iper tecnologico e postmoderno (intonato alle caratteristiche della nostra Republic), the lion's den is found naturally in low gi sit where guests of honor seated up strange, uncomfortable seats that seem to be between astral projection, chair of a spaceship is precisely that kind of stools on which sit on the lions for the circus is about to be tamed. are arranged in two areas, right and left, mo 'Parlamentino of the nineteenth century, and in the midst of him, Santoro, with an air of stern tamer of lions, which gives the word, send out the movies, driving our viewers to look towards a kind of big-screen horizontal table on which are projected images. Above this pit is a sort of circular railing (Perhaps to protect the spectators from the wild beasts that roam below) and around this species of reef lie the interlocutors of the second floor, often young and often under the protection of young journalists ... Behind them the public over the audience and a circular screen on which are projected images continuously (at times disturbing, like the gaze of Berlusconi played ad infinitum).
The relocation of forces in the episode entitled "Do Not Disturb" was the following: the right to host the regular male presence, ie Italian Defense Minister Ignazio La Russa, in the same industry but more in the background, as if to cushion the impact of the amount of pheromone men in a circle, journalist Ilaria D'Amico (for the entire evening every so often the camera in a manner typical of Italian cameraman gave a peek female image, dressing all in black with high heels, with a little hair 'futurist), among Santoro, journalist, investigator cynical but also has a sense of humor, to his left Marco en travail pendant to his colleague friend who was also a bit 'set back, emerging only to read his piece on Berlusconi's new Italian Constitution) and then Pier Ferdinando Casini (it's not clear what has to do with the crisis under discussion). Lean over the railing, three young Libyans, presented with the names Ali, Tareg bilaba and residents in Italy (with valid residence permit you can imagine) who participated in the demonstration in Rome in front of the Libyan embassy (the "scuffle" as it is defined by Santoro). Their discomfort, their being little accustomed to Ceroni and television studios, it is clear as well clear is their hustle, their anxiety to the Italian public to communicate the urgency of stopping the massacres despite the difficulties caused by emotion and a imperfect knowledge of Italian. On the table-horizontal screen shots followed each other with the experts, journalists and politicians that Fini, Grappling and Lutwak. exception to this gallery of old, the interview in full, with simultaneous translation, Eva Giovannini that talks with Hassan Al Djhami, Libyan blogger who lives in Switzerland and escaped through his page Facebook has greatly contributed to the mobilization of the day of wrath. But perhaps it is because we consider him a person of the media, in practice one of their colleagues. Taking up the metaphor proposed by futurist design of the study, the spatial subdivision tra alto e basso si potrebbe azzardare una dicotomia: giù nella fossa, gli ologrammi italiani, dall’apparenza reale ma in verità intangibili, proiezioni di un vecchio ordine mondiale che si basa sul niente. Se, pure guidato dalle migliori intenzioni, fatica a capire il nuovo che avanza, di sopra invece la presenza corporea poco televisibile ma reale (i fiumi di sangue che scorrono) dei 3 ragazzi, i cambiamenti che stanno avvenendo nel mondo e che sfuggono al controllo del vecchio ordine. Che questa metafora possano averla intuita anche i produttori dello spettacolo lo si capisce quando spesso sullo schermo circolare in alto appaiono le immagini di giovani che avanzano (con iconografia imagination that suggests from a Volpedo Pelizza postmodern). What could be more promising, and there is hope so, when will combine images of young African, Middle Eastern and European, Chinese and hope that run together.
Returning to the substance, in the four and a half minutes of the interview to young Libyans the recurring theme is a rebuke to the Italians, who have lost their sense of humanity and instead of shouting that they stay silent. Instead of talking about economy and oil demand that these young Libyan Italians speak of lives. Santoro seems to take note of this request, but in reality il programma segue la deriva verso la questione securitaria, le responsabilità dell’alleanza con Gheddafi, se è da attribuire a destra o a sinistra, la necessità o meno dell’intervento dell’Unione Europea, la capacità dell’attuale governo di gestire la crisi (con il divertente intervento dello statista Casini che sottolinea come nonostante la poca attendibilità del capo del governo, il sistema italiano sia “incardinato nell’Occidente” quindi tout court affidabile, seguito dall’ancora più divertente affermazione di Lutwak,che tutto è a posto perché il ministro degli esteri americano parla a quello italiano, the U.S. secretary of state speaks to the interior minister and all people are worthy). At this point, illuminated with an intellectual, Santoro asks if Italy can play a role of "democratic bridge" for these underserved populations accustomed to democracy. Oh, how I wanted to testify in the study of the effectiveness of this proposal instead of Casini Igiaba Scego there was a young and shrewd Italian journalist and writer of Somali origin. This representative of "next generation" was born precisely from a family in Somalia, where the father as a young man was sent by the government of his state, which had just gained independence and was still under protection Trust of Italy, to carry out an apprenticeship of democracy in Italy in the early 60 (imagine the lessons of democracy from the Christian Democrats received the post-fraud law ). The father was then returned to Somalia to practice "democracy" and after some years of application of these lessons was forced to flee during the Siad Barre. In view of the teachers, and given the historical report, it appears that these experiments should go a little 'cautious. A different view, however, the various politicians questioned. Then, almost in the wake of questionable reliability Italian state to get to the question climax, that is, "What next?" Called to intervene at this point the kids how they can defend themselves, you hear the words "we are civilized people, respectable, ours is not a war civil but between Gaddafi and the people. " Here it would take the intervention of the interpreter to bring their case eloquently, otherwise the inferiority in the control of Italian linguistic tools of thought is seen as inferior, especially in a country accustomed to using the language a mo 'for the club. If the Italian public had been put in condizioni di ascoltare le parole d’ordine che risuonano nelle piazze del Nord Africa e del Medio Oriente, lungi dal gongolare su una sua presunta superiore capacità di governo democratico (su cui oggi più che mai bisognerebbe stendere un velo pietoso) potrebbe essere costretto a riflettere su stesso.
Ritornando alla mia lettera di scuse a voi, ragazzi libici, avrei voluto che vi fosse stato dato spazio per illustrare alcuni concetti emersi nelle settimane di questo inverno di piazze. Nel suo saggio, La Dignità Araba , ripreso ampiamente nella stampa ed in internet, il sociologo Adel Jabbar individua le seguenti parole d’ordine come quelle che esprimono le aspirazioni di gran parte del movimento che va dalla Mauritania allo Yemen, ognuno con accezioni un po’diverse, coniugate alla realtà di ciascun paese: libertà, dignità, democrazia, no al dispotismo (Istibdad), no alla corruzione (Fasad), protesta (al-tadhahurat) insurrezione (al-wathba), sollevazione (intifada), rivoluzione (al-thawra) ,primavera di rinascimento (nahdha), volontà di riscatto oltre che di rinnovamento (tajdid), nuovo e necessario risveglio (sahawa). La puntata di Annozero avrebbe preso una piega decisamente diversa e sicuramente più poetica se si fosse data la possibilità a queste parole e concetti di emergere. Oltre a valutare whether to support or not these upheavals, maybe you guys would have urged us to consider whether or not to begin to expand our knowledge of Arabic and maybe use those passwords in our events. Not surprisingly, the world of globalized liberalism in crisis, our claims in Italy revolve around common themes, as evidenced by the solidarity message sent by the Egyptian union Kamal Abbas, General Coordinator of Independent Trade Unions CTUWS, trade unions in Wisconsin currently under severe attack by the governor and which can be found at the site of Michael Moore http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/must-read/statement-kamal-abbas .
Hopefully, guys that during the various activities and stages of change that would undoubtedly go through your country, even the Italian media, spurred on by the public and at their request, able to demonstrate a greater maturity and willingness to listen to the voices from the streets, live, without the megaphone of the experts and politicians, simply because have a value in itself, not only on the basis of an alleged "security" Italian.
